MR FRASER VISITS MANCHESTER
(Rec. 6.30 p.m.) LONDON, July 27. The New Zealand Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser, yesterday morning toured the more seriously bombed areas of Manchester. He was frequently cheered by groups of factory workers and householders. He talked to women and children in a badly damaged area of the poorer section, where he was cheered for his encouraging words. He was informed: “We aren’t downhearted.” For 30 minutes Mr Fraser was bombarded with questions by a dozen Pressmen, who were keenly interested in New Zealand and its war effort. After having lunch with the Lord Mayor he visited the aerodrome. Mr Fraser today left by car for Glasgow.
